Price History
Description
Treat yourself to an ORIGINAL iconic piece by Vitra. An original will always hold its value. It will stay with you for your whole life and will outlive you, being passed on to the next generation. A self-taught architect with a passion for industrialising buildings, Jean Prouvé (1901 - 1984) is now considered a leading architect and one of the greatest designers of the 20th century, on a par with Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. A pioneer, Prouvé played a major role in the development of mass production techniques in the European post-war modernist movement. Jean Prouvé developed a "constructive thought" based on a logic of series manufacturing and functionality to create an aesthetic that’s purified of all artifice. The designer has a wide portfolio of designs ranging from prefabricated homes to furniture for offices, classrooms and interiors. Jean Prouvé's creations have become icons of the post-war period and have spanned the whole century. Jean Prouvé created the Guéridon round wooden table in 1949 for the University of Paris. This table imprinted with constructive thought down to the smallest detail is based on an aesthetic of necessity. The inclined feet are connected by crossbars, illustrating the propagation of forces and static relationships in the manner of engineering constructions. Its unique style, in pure modernist lineage, makes it a perfect designer piece for kitchens or dining rooms.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this round table for its clean, functional design and the timeless appeal of Jean Prouvé’s craftsmanship. Its compact size makes it a versatile choice for smaller dining spaces or as a statement piece in a breakfast nook. The natural wood finish adds warmth and texture, making it easy to integrate into both modern and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with minimal chairs that echo the warm wood tones or contrasting materials like metal for a more contemporary look. It also works well with colourful or patterned tableware, allowing those details to stand out against its understated elegance. Overall, this table combines practicality with aesthetic appeal, making it a smart addition to a variety of home settings.
